As officials continue to search for Danelo Cavalcante, the convicted murderer who investigators say escaped from a Chester County prison last week, NBC10 learned new details about another prisoner who escaped from the same jail earlier this year before he was caught that same day.
Investigators said Bolte’s clothing was soaking wet. Bolte told the corrections officers he had jumped into a swimming pool during his escape, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
While being interviewed, Bolte allegedly said his experience as a rock climber allowed him to escape. Bolte told investigators he put his legs on one wall and his arms on another wall, according to the affidavit. He then allegedly scaled the wall and pulled himself onto the roof of the prison. Once he reached the roof, Bolte ran across and climbed down by the visitors entrance to the building where there was less security, investigators said. Officials said Bolte then ran across the parking lot through the field in front of the prison before reaching the West Chester borough.
